Hi Seekers
I am wondering how you are stating your intention at the beginning, before listening. It is important to state your goal in the posiitve rather than the negative. Doing this will bring you the best results.
ie: "I can welcome new ideas" rather than "I will not be not closed minded "
or "I feel calm and relaxed" instead of "I don't panic"
Another thing you can do is to write some lists: Things you have accomplished (they dont have to be impressive to anyone else), Personal strengths and qualities, Involvement with community, groups, volunteering, etc. Then, looking yourself in the eye in a mirror, tell yourself about those things. These are some of the many ways that you bring value to the community, to the world.
Every time you think of another one, add it to a list.
